Cyrano de Bergerac by Martin Crimp

A genius with language but convinced of his own ugliness, Cyrano secretly loves the radiant Roxane — who’s fallen for the beautiful but inarticulate Christian.

Martin Crimp’s radical adaptation of Edmond Rostand’s masterwork strips the romance down to its brutal core: a linguistic tour-de-force that examines the cost of forsaking who we are for who we feel we should be. This is Cyrano for the modern age — an unflinching examination of identity, masculinity, and desire.

Directed by Matthew Cox and featuring a razor-sharp ensemble, this isn’t the Cyrano you think you know.
